Boris Ivandic has reconstructed a section of the Berlin Wall for a room installation in the ROOT gallery. He was interested in the western and colourful side of the former Berlin Wall as a public and anarchistic image carrier, which people have appropriated by means of pictorial messages, and the barren, bleak and deadly eastern side of the Berlin Wall. The difference between the Berlin Wall, implicitly a reconstructed section of the Wall, and the canvas in terms of the message of one and the same pictorial motif is part of the artist's exploration.
Born in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1951, Ivandic studied art and philosophy in Zagreb and at the Ljubljana Art Academy. After ten years in Paris, he moved to Berlin in 1992. Between shows in Europe, Chicago, Shanghai, Nanjing and Beijing, Ivandic exhibited with Cornelissen as early as 2001. The paintings, harmonious despite their immense richness and dynamism, in which the colours also erupt into reliefs, combine the abstract with the figurative, such as a nude by Ivandic, a drawing of the German Chancellor, animals, plants and fantasy creatures.
